Abhishek Sharma Equals Virat Kohli's Huge Record With 30-Ball Century Vs Afghanistan
Abhishek Sharma equalled Virat Kohli's huge record with his 30-ball century against Afghanistan in New Delhi.
Indian opener Abhishek Sharma’s 30-ball century against Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday (September 17) was his 10th in all T20 cricket — international, domestic and IPL — equalling former captain Virat Kohli’s record to sit joint-top of the list.
With India batting first, the left-hander smashed 108 runs off just 34 balls, hitting nine fours and as many as 11 sixes, to end with a strike rate of 317.65. It was the fastest century in Indian men’s cricket history and the fastest for a full-member nation in T20I cricket.
